2016 Tour of Michael Jackson Childhood Home (Gary IN) 

that’s craaazzyy 😩 . just looking at his childhood home & realizing he was once inside there . like you’re actually standing outside his old house 😭 like omg

I still can't believe he's gone.....R.I.P Michael

Before I leave this world I have to visit that house RIP MJ

I remember when that house was brick red with no fence, no iron gate before it was made a landmark to the Jacksons. My big brothers and many other youth use to play basketball on the courts at Roosevelt High School across the alley and behind Jackson street.

I visited that little house on September 28, 2012 after touring the Motown Museum in Detroit from my home in Snellville GA.. Along with an older brother, I only saw two ladies and a little girl during my approximately 30 minutes visit.

it's a cute little house,unforgettable memories for the Jackson family,

his life was sad miss him very much never realized how happy and sad he really was he loved his fans !!

Beautiful house, I'm getting emotional while looking at it though :( Missing Michael

I wish you could go inside the house

Michael was born as the population was booming in Gary, the city that had the highest percentage of african-americans, he was the embodiment and epitome of black culture and music

How nice that it was enshrined by the Jackson family. It's a wonderful tribute.

Reminds me of the 2 bdrm. home we bought when my 1at husband & I were married. I loved that house. Thank you for sharing & thank you to The Jackson's for sharing their music with the world.

I miss him so much. I'm speechless​.love u MJ 💟 pray for us.

What blows my mind with these many videos I've watched of the decay of cities how freaking huge the lots were that had to be a blessing

Michael come back to the world please,and make the world a better place😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dude that part with MJ dancing scared the shit out of me! Almost gave me a heart attack! Lol

Loved the insert of Michael Moon walking❤

Growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s I admit I was never crazy about MJ. Always remember seeing him on commercials , movies and concerts on PBS. It's amazing after he passed and Whitney Houston and even Prince. I know listen to all of their music now being in my late thirties I have such an appreciation for all of the 80s and 90s icons that I grew up around that are no longer with us like Luther Vandross and many other. I am truly proud of growing up with so many great entertainers

I am a huge fan of the Jackson Family especially my main man Michael (MJ) Jackson and let’s not forget Janet Jackson I truly love them so on this day 10/07/2020 I traveled from Illinois where I’m from doing a little Uber pickups so to make the long story short I decided that I wasn’t leaving Gary Indiana without dropping by 2300 hundred Jackson to see where they’ve gotten their start in life at I just want to say job well done to my favorite family with much love from Pamela J Brials and to Michael Jackson continue to Rest In Peace😘🥰😍🥰😍😘

Michael was such a legend!! THE legend!!!..

Great video I miss Michael

Im from gary i grew up passing his house almost every day

So sad... Feel want hug you. Miss you MJ❤️

This is sad that Micheal,Joseph and now Tito Jackson are now up in Glory it's iconic and a blessing to see the accomplishments that Jacksons made through the years and i love all of them❤🙏👑😇🕊

I can't stop thinking that this was the house that he was abused in all the pain suffering where his father wouldn't let him call him daddy or always abusing him in the outdoors he was like a happy little child but when it came to being an indoors it was so bad he probably had multiple bruises and scars. Long live the king of Pop love you man.

The Jackson's own both those homes. The original and the one next door.

They use both houses. Things about Michael is in the second house. In fact when I was there, somebody from the Netherlands asked me which house was which. I was there for all the changes of those houses. The second house had two beautiful large photos of him and his mother together. I was sitting on the porch before the remodel when people could freely visit. looks like now they took some things down especially after Janet Joseph and Randy visited it. I think while that lovely town is empty the Jacksons should take the whole thing back even down to the steel mill. I appreciate the share. 2300 and Gary Indiana it self is always historical home. Yes the people there are gorgeous. I told them they all are stars now. including that famous spot.

I enjoyed the video and your positive energy very much😊💛

I’m a truck driver & stopped for the wknd @ the nearby truck stop & remembered that there was someone famous that grew up nearby! 😂 I googled the address & I found out that I was about 5 miles away! 😂 I dropped my trailer & rolled by in my semi that morning! I knew better next time & went by during the day the next time so that I could get better pics

I miss you MJ 💕

thanx for sharing i wanna go there

They use the second house and it has big photo under those shades of Michael and mother together and one of him. Then U see like memabila inside the windows. I had tourist from Norway and places like that ask me which house was the original home. I think Michael like Joseph wanted it to stay Original because they would remember where they came from.

I agree with the guy that made this video. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or threatened being here. Was a nice piece of history to see

"Hence the word "Jackson", ironically they became famous so its like "their street" literally...

My dream place❤

I love you Michael jackson

รักคิดถึงตลอดมาและตลอดไป💗(😭)

Tenho muita saudade dele, ele e e continua, sendo o meu idolo

Went to go visit on September 1st 2019 on my way back from Michigan

The tombstone statute that you see here is no longer there. But it's still great to go by and celebrate Michael.

I always wanted to go to this house

The House Looks So Beautiful Katherine always keeps the House in Pristine Condition. They always had LOVE & I Believe that Made all the Difference...Love. You all Jackson's...

Great video but I was hoping for an interior view. I’ve seen several of the exterior but can’t find one anywhere and am very interested. Is an interior tour something that has ever been available? I’ve even looked on Zillow for an interior view of the floor plan since there are several homes nearby with the same design but nothing.

Love michael from sri lanka

YESSSSSSSS 2300 Jackson Street......

Estaba abandonada cuando el murio pero se ve que la arreglaron. Gracias. Amor para su familia y bendiciones.

Love music

BELIVE ME IVE MADE IT A LIFE LONG GOAL TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE TO GO BACK TO MY HOME TOWN (GARY) AND MAKE IT THE PLACE IT WAS IN THE OLD DAYS AS LONG AS IM BREATHING THAT CITY WILL ALWAYS BE ON MY LIFE GOAL LIST (sorry for the caps well someone of them😂😂)

I went here just 2 days ago

Michael Jackson 💔💜🧡❤🎶🎤🎵

You forgot to take us inside Bro!

I live in gary,for those who haven't seen it,no rush its just a house,nothing spectacular.... but it is right off the highway if u come to see it

I never went inside yet but they have a video here on RU-vid of LaToya and mother showing the whole inside. See I was there before the gates went up and the house was totally empty. Even when a week after I was there and on the show Dynasty Marlon and Tito Michael's two brothers visited and they went inside this was before Michael passed and the house was totally empty just all painted up. So this year all the props were gone when Janet and Randy went on the SOTW tour. no Statue. What did they do with that statue? seem like it disappeared in 2017 after Joseph visited it. but they won't tell us what happened to it I even asked the main cousins that were there all the time.

I wish they would set this up like they did Elvis’ birthplace. I’ve been to his birthplace you go in and take a tour and see the way it would have looked when he was a child. Also there is a chapel on the grounds and statues and many other things. They could buy up the properties around it and make it a shrine to his youth as they did Elvis. That way they have money to preserve it and give fans that gift. I also wish they would set up Neverland for tours like Graceland. Hopefully one day they will.

Nice video my man,I wonder if that was a old high school behind the Jacksons house

Yes I was there.. Gary is a sad poor town. But Jackson street is very poor also.. but I enjoy the visit.. We didn't have any problems there. I wouldn't ride through the city

Im not crying u r 🥺😭

Michael jackson ❤

the music kinda sounds like butterflies

How can I visit

I can go into the house because my papa is a friend the Jacksons

It turns out I'm not the only one that doesn't have a lot of concrete out side there house in the back yard and front yard lol🤣

O.M.G i wish they would ✋ talking. So much ! But love historical before we see an who keeps up with the house looking so well

MJ ain’t dead. He got tired of y’all fukn with him

He born in that house? Wow.

i Dank you for tis video and have a neis day

That s not a selling point it being located next to Chicago as much as I used to be there in the 90s hauling steel out of there.

I stopped in Gary on the way back to Stl today and went by his house. The statue wasn’t there but got some pics

😔😢😔😢😔😢😔😢😔😢

My papa house, the key and my papa bought the house for the Jackson’s

R.i.p Mike & Joe

What is the name of the song playing? Gives me a chillhop kind of vibe! MJ forever!

Can I go inside?

Lets not forget about the brothers and sisters that were born and raised there people,remember it was the jacksons home not just Michael’s home ,show some respect DUHHH!!!!

Love you

I was there today I was disappointed that the headstone wasn’t there don’t know why they took it down . At least the plaques were still there

On a quite night You can hear little Michael scream Hehe And Chumon from the basement

Great Video

Wow

I like Gary Indiana only because Michael Jackson was there

Why they don't make it a memorial house, so fans could visit it inside? :(

Been there

I was born in Gary in 1961, I remember when Michael Jackson was just a cute little black kid that still had African American features, big nose, big lips and Afro. 😀✌🏻♥️✊🏻😎

Nice one

I visited today

Ali Jackson Michael ❤💔💜🧡😁🤣😀

the house next door is also owned by the Jackson's I am not 100% sure but think the caretaker lives in it

I use to live there

I have such Mixed feelings right now. theres music & videos like this that when we want to go back & see this stuff its there, so thats a good thing. - The dude was bigger than a Music Icon. They need to open that investigation imo & see what really happened. Ya cant just give him propofol & leave the room & kill a Legend & serve 2 years & then live a great life happy as can be. Its not fair at all. Murry didnt kill a man,- he killed a Legend. -anyway Awesome video,very cool.

💔

I’ve always been proud to be from Gary Indiana and every time I visit, it always makes me feel some type of positive way! Rip MJ

Man that is not a tour I thought you were gonna show the inside

Thank you for this tour. Michael Jackson is always in our heart

If that house could talk.........

Its funny I have lived in Michigan City (around 30 miles from gary) my whole life and today (5/29/18) was the first time I went and saw MJ's old house.

2300 jackson street🎹🎷🎷🎷🎶🎵

A lot of people in that small house !! it looks nice and neat !!!

I was born and raised on Chicago’s southside,and we’ve always considered Gary to be a Chicago suburb(It’s only 15 minutes away from my house)… And for those who don’t know, a lot of talent has came out of Gary,not just the Jackson’s!

i knew a family had 12 children lived in a 2 bedroom house a good family love was more then anything during my youth

Humble beginnings
